Mademoiselle De Belle Isle
Alexandre Dumas
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
"The refined and fashionable audiences who... used to applaud the play of Mademoiselle de Belle Isle… would, in all probability, have objected to an English version of Dumas' clever play, upon the score of its immorality. It is not for me to determine whether the aristocratic audiences at the St James Theater did not understand what they heard, or whether the French language has a special charm for rendering inoffensive what plain English fails to recommend." - Summary by The Translator

Reviews
A MOST AMUSING PLAY
AVID READER
I can see why this play was well-received in England, if not it France. It's heart is the everso English trait of Shakespeare's "All's Well That Ends Well.". The lead readers mostly did a fine job of acting. something not always found with pure readers. Thank you for the change of pace.
